By Guest Author DominiqueLevenberg. It was an exhuberant crowd of 35 SSU students who attend the semester’s first Winesense tasting with Chalk Hill and Williamsonwineries.

Chalk Hill, located in the Chalk Hill AVA of Sonoma County, brought a Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and a Cabernet Sauvignon from their new Lancaster Estate winery. The favorite from Chalk Hill was the Sauvignon Blanc.

Williamson Winery, located in Dry Creek AVA, shared a Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Noir Rose, and a Cabernet Sauvignon. The favorite from Williamson was the Pinot Noir Rose.

Cheese, crackers, salami, and tasty treats were served from Bianchi’s Bake Shop. Both wineries generously raffled a few bottles of wine, and the Board also raffled three of our new SSU Wine Sense t-shirts.
